Abstract

Differential cross sections for ground-state neutrons from the C14(d, n)N15 reaction have been measured at Ed=3.53 Mevand2.786Mev by a neutron spectrometer. A stripping peak implying lp=1 is observed. The excitation function of the ground-state neutrons has been measured from Ed=1.2 Mev to Ed=3.53 Mev. A number of resonances were found corresponding to virtual states of N16. The angular distributions of neutrons associated with the 5.28-, 5.31-Mev doublet (unresolved) and 6.33-Mev levels of N15 were measured by photographic emulsion technique. A stripping peak characteristic of lp=0 corresponds to the unresolved doublet, and lp=1 to the 6.33-Mev state. The excitation function for all neutrons from C14(d, n)N15 was measured both by "slow" and "fast" neutron counters. Several possible slow-neutron thresholds were found corresponding to excited states of N15. The sensitivity of the slow-neutron threshold technique was checked by the O16(d, n)F17. Accurate values of these thresholds are reported.
